    This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a while.

    • The skis are going to be very heavy
    • Sucks to be you if you don’t like the design or feel of them.
    • The skis have holes in them for the tracks
    • The tracks don’t add much help given that skins have little forward resistance.
    • I suspect that the skis will do very poorly in powder conditions.
